pain in c section incision area...? is this normal?

This is my second pregnancy and have a 14 month old son. I am currently about 15 weeks pregnant and having general discomfort and dull pain around my incision site. If anything graces it... I flinch and immediately pertect that area. I asked the doctor at about 12 weeks and he said that it was just round ligiment pain... but I never had this pain with my first. Is this normal... or should I be pushing this issue with the doctor on the next visit?

Hi there,

This is my second pregnancy and have a 14 month old son. I am currently about 15 weeks pregnant and having general discomfort and dull pain around my incision site. If anything graces it...

How far apart are your babies? I had a c section 4 years ago. I was having some pain. I have to tell myself, my uterus was surgically repaired and that it may hurt a little more as the baby stretches to keep from freaking out. My pain has subsided. If your in crazy pain go to the ER.

Scar tissue is stretching? I know Scar tissue is very sensitive. Never had a c-section but I had piercings an tattoos redone (I know different pain and c-section doesn't compare) but getting them redone hurt so much worse the second time around.

I've never had a C-section but did have a tummy tuck 6 years ago thinking I was done. I haven't gained any weight yet, only a nice round baby bump. I'm also experiencing the same pain. My doctor explained to me since my stomach muscles were pulled so tight they are having to stretch to accommodate the growing baby. Luckily I only plan on gaining baby weight nothing else. I don't want to repeat another tummy tuck. I hope your pain eases soon, I rest a lot if I'm having the pain and if I'm able to leave the base. Good luck.
